SourceForge easycapdc60 driver project closed

With the release of Wheezy as Debian stable version 7.0 this weekend all
major Linux distributions now have an inbuilt driver for the EasyCAP DC60
with USB ID 05e1:0408. This is an appropriate point, therefore, definitively
to retire the SourceForge easycapdc60 project.

If you are having difficulties with your EasyCAP on Linux you will find that
a simple search of the internet retrieves a lot of information, but in order
to make sense of it you will first need to know which type of EasyCAP you
possess. With the EasyCAP plugged in, run the command

lsusb

If the output includes a line containing the string "05e1:0408" you have a
Syntek EasyCAP. This requires the "easycap" driver on Debian Wheezy, or
the "stk1160" driver on distributions which use a more recent kernel.

The string "eb1a:2861" means you have an Empia EasyCAP, which requires the
"em28xx" driver. This pre-dates the drivers for the Syntek EasyCAP and so
should be available on all but the most out-of-date Linux distributions.

Finally, the string "1c88:0007" means you have a Somagic EasyCAP. Linux
drivers for this type have been developed only rather recently.
